ReadDavidson is a town-wide initiative organized by a group of avid readers, Main Street Books, and the Davidson Public Library. Since 2007, books have been chosen annually, and book-related events have been planned to make each book come to life. A book is selected each spring, and in the fall, citizens are invited to participate in programs and events. 

All events are free and open to the public.

2016 Selection

• Wherever There is Light by Peter Golden

Citizens are encouraged to read the book and then attend fun and educational book-related events in the fall.
